Graphs display upside down

I am using matlab online, 2021b

All graphs display upside down, including numbers, axis, and toolbox

Changing the renderer causes the graph to rerender and fixes the issue for graphs currently plotted, such as

set(gcf,'renderer','painters')

set(gcf,'renderer','opengl')

But does not stop new graphs from being upside down again.

I have a similar problem, sometimes graphs start being displayed upside down and mirrored (as in you picture) and, from then on, they keep being displayed in that way. If matlab is restarted things go back to normal, at least for some time.

This happens mostly when some special display windows are generated, such as the "Reinforcement Learning pisode Manager"

Answer 2

[Joana Gomes]

try using

set(gca,'YDir','reverse');

worked for me

[Walter Roberson]

Setting YDir will not affect the direction that the text is displayed. The sample posted by the user has the text upside down.

figure(1)
plot(1:5)

figure(2)
plot(1:5)
set(gca, 'YDir', 'reverse')

Notice that the text stays upright in both cases.

Hi,

If anyone else is still experiencing this problem, they can resolve it with this command.

set(0, 'DefaultFigureRenderer', 'painters')
